Welding Is Much More Than

Sparks and Sweat !!

Welders need to know more

than how to lay a good weldbead.They need to know some

math, chemistry, physics and

electricity, so ourcurriculum includes a

healthy dose of math and

science

Who Might NOTBe a Good

Candidate for Vo-Tech?

College-bound with financial resources

for further education

College-bound, but a late bloomer (theyneed the entrance requirements quickly)

Students looking for an easy place to

kill time (Vo-Tech Welding is not easy;they need to look elsewhere)
